Goat Yoga
Little Peeps Farm
We’ve really put a lot of thought into how we could start offering our Goat Yoga classes again in this new world of Covid, and I’m finally at the point where I am feeling good about it and excited to be able to share this experience with all of you again! We will be limiting each class to 10 people again, at least to start off the year. We hope that we will be able to open it up to around 15 like we did toward the end of last year. This just means more interaction and quality time with the goats for you! Temperatures will be taken upon arrival and MASKS ARE REQUIRED until you’re on your mat, at that point they are optional. This event is held outdoors with plenty of space to appropriately social distance between individuals or groups. Hand sanitizer and hand sanitizing wipes are available before and after class at the check-in table. I strive to provide an experience where everyone feels comfortable and can thouroghly enjoy themselves – goats and yoga… what’s not to enjoy!
